Adoption Law question!?

I can't get a straight answer from any attorney I have called. Here's the situation. We were chosen by birth parents in Penn. to adopt their twins who were born on the 29th. The fathers family is contesting the adoption because they are bigots who think adoption is a sin and have told this couple they will burn in hell if they go through with it. They have a court date the end of this mth. to go before the judge and appeal to him for it to go ahead. Now My husband and I don't want to have to wait til the last min to know. They have a lawyer there who they had draw up the adoption papers already to meet all penn. law and requirements. I need to know if we have to have a lawyer from here or do we have to hire one in Penn. to go over everything and make sure that it also meets our states law and requirements? And what are we going to have to do when the times comes for the adoption to become final here? If you know we'd be grateful if not don't reply thanks!

The father is all for it to go through they have thought this through for mths. before they made the choice and they took just as long to find the right couple for them. His family doesn't want the babies....they are contesting to make the couple keep them instead of adopting them out.

From what I gathered from your question, both birth parents are ok with the adoption and it is the birth father's extended family members who have the problem.

Since none of them have any rights in this regard the adoption should be fine.

In that case they will be laughed out of court when the judge determines that the parents are more than capable of making the decision on their own.

You need to have a good lawyer in both states to stand a snowballs chance in hell of getting the twins.

The father and if he designates, his family will have priority over you unless they are proven unfit.

I personnally wouyld bail out of this
You need to think they may show up in 3 years wanting the kids back
